Multiple Network Services

directly to an MPM+ or MPMx card. This provides for a more secure
network with greater bandwidth as each media card has its own
dedicated port. All signaling communications are processed on a single
stack of the processor in the MCU.
On the RMX 2000, a RTM LAN or RTM ISDN card is required to enable
the separation between the networks. By defining Multiple Network
Services, a separate network can be defined for each media card installed
in the system.
Media, signaling and Management networks can be physically separated
on the RMX system to provide enhanced security. This addresses the
requirement in an organization that different groups of participants be
supported on different networks. For example, some participants may be
internal to the organization while others are external.
Up to four media and signaling networks can be defined for RMX 4000, or
two for RMX 2000 and two for RMX 1500. Multiple IP Network Services can
be defined, one (RMX 2000/4000) or
and signaling network connected to the RMX. The networks can be
connected to one or several Media cards in the RMX unit.
The Management Network is logically and physically separated from the
media and signaling networks. There can be one Management Network
defined per RMX system.
Each conference on the RMX can host participants from the different IP
Network networks simultaneously.
The following figure shows the network topology with three different
media and signaling networks and one Management network connected
to the RMX 4000.
